Jim Gannon has been made redundant by the administrators currently in charge at Edgeley Park.

A statement from the administrators read: "It is regrettable that due to funding constraints during the administration period it has been necessary to make a number of redundancies.

"Following the conclusion of the playing season, the number of coaching staff has been reduced and regrettably cuts include the manager, Jim Gannon.

"It is hoped that these cost reductions will enable us to preserve the club in the short term and secure a buyer in the near future."

Hatters legend Gannon turned down the opportunity to leave the club earlier this year when in the frame to take over at Brighton.
